Topic 3: Study Skills
Task 1 - Skills Inventory
1. Get to class on time
2. Be prepared
3. Take good notes
4. Get started
5. Finish
The skills I could improve on are taking good notes and getting started. When taking notes, I tend to write too much and get behind the pace, or I zone out and miss material. Abbreviating my notes would help. Also, making sure that I am focused on the material will keep me from zoning out.
Task 2 - How to Take Notes and Combating Procrastination
a. taking better notes:
1. review notes from the previous class session
2. keep attention focused
3. listen for "signal statements"
4. put a "?" when unsure of something and review later
5. rewrite notes, making them more thorough and clarifying anything I was unsure of
b. controlling procrastination
1. PRIORITIZE!!!
2. commit to completing a task once started
3. make a schedule of tasks to complete and when, and STICK TO IT
4. find a good place to work on things with minimal distractions
5. reward yourslef whenever you complete a task
